USB 3.0 graphics cards arrive

Graphics cards USB 3.0, DisplayLink technology arrive. Sunix it comes out the first card, expected to be more efficient than standard versions, with USB 2.0. Indeed, the performance is very dependent on the bandwidth: with USB 2.0 cards, the flow is more complicated to animate, the more compression is stronger and the processor is stressed.

With USB 3.0, as the bandwidth is greater, the card will compress the images less and less processor load. Remember that the cards work by sending DisplayLink screen that changed items (and therefore movement): the office will pose never problems, there is little movement out of the mouse, while a video or a game, let alone full-screen, is problematic.

Sunix has three cards, which include a USB 3.0 Micro B (standard) and USB 2.0 compatible. The VGA2718 provides an analog output, a VGA, the 2788 offers a DVI-I and the 2788 HDMI output. In all three cases, the limit definition of 2048 x 1152. HDMI version includes a USB soundcard and therefore transmits sound.

It remains to see the price and performance.
